was wondering if there was a way to root my new asus with out a pc like I use to with older android phones. I rooted a old motorola android by simply flashing a rooted rom over stock from from a sd. hoping I can somehow do the same here. I ordered usb cables from amazon and its taking too long because there coming from china and I'm in usa.
You need a PC to root the Transformer. And you should already have a USB cable, or how do you charge it?

So I got a question I keep reading that the transformer has no USB host support for like Xbox controllers and stuff but I swore it had a micro USB I could be wrong I do not own one yet. But if it doesn't have USB slots is there a way to hook up stuff like that or are you forced to get the dock that I do not want

No USB on the tablet. Micro SD card is available
The are supposed to be releasing a USB adaptor
So when they realease the adaptor we will be able to hook up controllers and stuff and acctually take advantage of what 3.1 has to offer ?

You are able now to use USB host on the tablet, if you buy a female to female adapter and hook it up to the charging cable. At least this is what I read here.

Almost nothing works that way because there is no power line in the charging cable.
I guess you need to have the laptop accessory to take advantage of USB controllers ect?
So I have heard that they are going to be releasing a USB adapter is this true or are they going to force you to buy the dock for host functions

The adapter has been confirmed, but nobody at Asus could give me a date when it will be available.
edit: Apparently a german online shop is listing the usb adapter for 20 Eur and has the item in stock: cyberport.de/notebook/zubehoer/kabel-adapter/adapter---usb/1D09-36X/asus-usb-extension-kit-fuer-eee-pad-transformer.html
Hopefully it's coming to Amazon soon!
has anyone teated that USB adapter from that German website?
it's been released a couple of days ago. take a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155196&page=10
there are a couple of pictures
so far it's not available in the us though (mainly europe afaik)
just bought this from b&h
www bhphotovideo com
/c/product/812009-REG/ASUS_90_OK06CR00010_USB_Kit_for_TF101.html
only 11 bucks, 14 with shipping, hope it works. hope it works!
they are also on ebay and amazon.
the usb port device I listed above works just fine on my tf101
I bought an OTG cable, but it doesn't seem to work, as no device (no drive, mouse, keyboard,... gets powered.) My Xoom is rooted to 3.1 with the 1.4.3 Tiamat kernel.
Can someone help me make it work?
Probably the wrong cable.
Its the wrong cable. i have 3 types of supposed OTG cables and the only one that worked for me was the one from nokia N8. the other cables where just adapters.
Help request: host mode
Xoom: US Wifi only
Honeycomb version: 3.1
Kernel: Tiamat 1.4.3 (formerly 1.4.2)
Busybox: version 1.19.0
I have been trying, without success to connect my USB drive, camera, and phone (rooted Incredible running CM7) to my Xoom using a host cable. First unsuccessful trials were with a host cable that I made following a thread in the development section. I subsequently purchased a Motorola camera connection cable, thinking that I had screwed up the fabrication of the host cable, but results are the same. Note that I am plugging the host cable into the Xoom.
If I open a terminal on my Xoom and type: CD /dev/block then enter "ls", I can see SDA, SDA1, SDA2 which I believe are my external devices.
When I plug in my Incredible, it recognizes the USB connection, but from the Xoom end there is nothing.
But if I try to mount any of these devices with this command: "busybox mount /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbOTG" I get this error : "mounting dev/block/sda1 on /mnt/usbOTG failed: No such file or directory"
Any suggestions regarding what I might be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Erm, I bought a cable that was posted in this thread (the Meritline one), and seeing as it was suggested here at xda, I thought it would be trustworthy, apparently not.
Edit: crap, it doesn't have OTG, just like you guys said. What a waste of my money! Any of you guys know where preferably Europe to buy a WORKING cable? Also, is there anything else I can use this cable for?

Yeah, did the same thing. Pretty irritated with the OP of that thread for putting that up there like he knew what he was talking about. He still hasn't updated the thread so other people who don't scroll down the four pages to my post are probably still wasting their time...
Dude, go into Best Buy and buy an OTG cable for $20 bucks. I did that and I haven't had any issues. I also purchased another one that I'm giving away to an XDA member (already claimed) that should be on it's way.
Remember: Cheap is expensive in the end.

Add a connection between pins 4 and 5 on the micro plug and you have your OTG cable.
so, mine connects and the light on my flash drive turns on, but I don't know where to go to access the files? Help?

Agreed. Sometimes it pays to stay legit, even if you have to pay extra. No issues at all with the Moto OTG cable here also.

Hello,
does anyone know where can I purchase a USB Cable for my Galaxy S so that it could be detected by kies?
thanks.
The cable used is a standard Micro USB cable, nothing special.
Yes, any standard Micro USB cable work.
you can buy for less than $2 over Hong Kong site
Be careful, once I bought a couple of cheap cables for my SGS on eb.. and they resulted to be only good for charging (and the charge is really slow), no usb file transfer, no Odin,...
I use this one from dealextreme: http://goo.gl/qYLSz, "Genuine" Nokia CA-101. Works very well with well everything...

THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
I bought a cable for £2, thought it was dirt cheap.
but looks like Samsung restricts usage of other cables on its phones. It doesn't allow the phone to be detected as a MTP device? or in Kies.
I tried several different cables.
Never had any problems.
(original Samsung, Nokia, Moto, Nokia from.Dealextreme, cheap cables, Kindle,....)

I can't help but think this is blatantly false. I've even made my own micro-USB cable for my tests on battery charging and it still had zero problems.
The USB spec doesn't allow a device to discriminate on cables. If there was something different in the cable then it would affect the computer side as well.
Now on the other hand the USB connectors themselves are fragile as all heck. I've been through many failed cables over the years in both mini and micro USB cables. Chances are the cable itself is bad.
The cable which I bought was good I think. It was charging, and I could connect it into USB mode. But I couldnt connect it into MTP mode.
I don't think I have even used my Samsung cable that came with the phone, Im not even sure where it is now too LOL
I have a Nokia N900 too so I use that cable (Nokia CA-101) instead and everything works fine
Kies however is a completely different kettle of fish and has always been temperamental at the best of times, especially in Windows 7
Now I use Galnet MIUI Rom I no longer (thankfully) have to use Kies
anyone know where to get an official cable in the UK?
ahhhhh wow looks good!
Stop spamming dude?

I had my 7.7 for some time and about 2 days ago i've bought a cheap chinese usb otg cable from some shoup around here. I thought it would be as simple as pluging it in and connecting some usb stick like i've done with justabout all usb otg stuff i previously owned. But it doesn`t do anything. I`ve tried other usb devices, the tab simply doesn`t power them at all. I`ve also disasembled the cable and measure it, everything is fine. I`m on stock ics 4.04, also tried a couple of kernels, it just doesn`t work.
Has anyone encountered such a problem.? Damn weird....

errrr....I think I misread your issue and specific item...
sorry!
Still great though!
The usb otg cable is just a plain simple usb cable with a 20kilo ohm resistor placed between 2 pins on the galaxy tab 30pin connector. That's about all the things inside the actual cable. When you plug it in, the tablet should figure out that the 20k resistor made contact with the pins and an accesory was connected. Mine doesn't. The cable is fine, i think there's something wrong with the tablet. Doesn't it supossed to power on whatever you insert on that usb port? Because i can't get those 5v on the port.
I don't know if it's a software or hardware problem....

what file system is your USB Stick using? try formatting the stick to FAT32 and see if its a file system issue
have you tried using another OTG cable? I'm also using a china knock off bought for 4 bucks, running stock ICS and it detects most of the thumb drives I attached to it
thanks for the replies but the situation is kind of different in my case.
In order for the tablet to read what kind of filesystem you have on a usb mass storage device (stick, hdd, whatever) it must first power it on and then attempt to access it. In my case, it simply doesn't power on. So, it doesn't matter what kind of file format it has. Also, if i plug a mouse/keyboard, it won't work either.
I thought that maybe it's a broken wire inside the connector, so i took it apart and measured each pin. The otg adapter is fine, it should do the job. I've also tested on another samsung tab and it worked straight away. It seems there's something wrong with my tab. However, other then this, the 30 pin port on the tab itself seems to be working fine.
Hello everyone!!! I just bought this device a couple of days ago. I live in India and bought through the Indian specific system of invites. The problem I faced today is that the usb came was connect my OPO to the laptop as an mtp in the beginning but now it only charges the phone. But when I use another usb cable, it connects as an mtp!! I really want to use only the oneplus usb cable and no other. Is the cable done for??? Will I have to but another one?? plzz help!!!
I'm pretty sure it's broken yeah. But you can order another data cable from oneplus though.
